Would anyone know of a specific purpose for a little bowl like this one?

The diameter is three and three-eighths inches and the height is one and a half inches. The handle is nearly one and three quarters inches long. The handle looks like it should contain something, but it does not open. Myself and others have tried, and an earlier owner appears to have forced it enough to do some damage.

I can probably find out who the manufacturer is, but if anyone knows off hand that would be helpful too.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi bascall!
Can only help with the mark right now, it is the mark used by the Watson Company from Attleboro, Mass....1905-1929. Please note they have over the years used several different marks.
Hope this helps.

Jersey, thank you. Didn't expect them. But it's good to know anyway.

Sounds like it holds 1 cup.
